This cello is strange and doesn't sound like the others, just goes awoo every so often 😁

@marcelias I drew Bode for you as a thank you for all the incredible work you have done to keep this country afloat! You are so appreciated!

I usually paint the 'wilder' aspects of the countryside. I painted this #watercolour during a #pandemic #lockdown for our daughter who lives in #Edinburgh.

One more. This time, we're back at home: València and the popular City of Arts and Sciences (if you find it familiar, it was a filming location in movies like Tomorrowland and the Westworld series).

Photo taken with a mobile phone, by the way. I used to bring the camera mostly when travelling, but there were only a few travels in the last three years 😓

The editor of a conservative news site wished everyone a happy 2023 and urged them to “shoot guns and watch college football.” Ten days later, she shot herself in the foot while watching a bowl game. Usually, the amount of time between the “f around” and “find out” stages is a little longer than that.

“There is no such thing as 'Herd Immunity' for COVID-19. It is a concept as antiquated as the 'Earth is Flat'. With the exception of smallpox, no pathogen has ever been eradicated from the earth and with smallpox, eradication was achieved with a highly effective long-lasting vaccine. SARS-CoV-2 appears to be the most adaptive and dynamic foe we have ever faced and hoping that the antiquated concept of 'Herd Immunity' will save the day, is just pure fantasy.” https://eu.courier-journal.com/story/opinion/2023/01/04/why-herd-immunity-is-as-an-outdated-concept-when-it-comes-to-covid/69750170007/

Aha!

Reporters will continue reporting straight-faced that the GOP's top concern is "the deficit" even as their openly-stated #1 top policy demand is to add $100B to deficit by cutting IRS enforcement.

This is one of the most fascinating (true) stories I've read in a long time. The lede is captivating:

"I wrote a story for a friend. But in the end, he didn’t treat me like a friend. And I’m hurt."

And it has this great phrase: "the ghost world of law which haunts all of us."

Not to be missed. https://theeggandtherock.substack.com/p/i-wrote-a-story-for-a-friend?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2

Donald Trump illegally held, failed to protect, and refused to return top secret government documents, yet he's still not charged and running for president.

We strongly suspect Matt Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl in exchange for money. He still walks free.

Police are rarely held accountable for inappropriate use of force that leads to needless deaths or injuries.

Is it any wonder why so many people think the police and justice systems are unfair and untrustworthy?

I’m sharing this clip direct from barrister Robin Moira White on LinkedIn. Worth the read…

This. Is. FASCINATING: “The vaccine, which contains dead versions of the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae, comes in the form of food. The vaccine is incorporated into royal jelly, a sugar feed given to queen bees. Once they ingest it, the vaccine is then deposited in their ovaries, giving developing larvae immunity as they hatch.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/07/science/honeybee-vaccine.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

I really like this idea.

Whew. Hakeem Jeffries took the GOP to school from A to Z. Literally. https://youtu.be/f9MowjSufRs
